Yes, as some of the other's have already mentioned, I live in central Florida, and have seen TONS of Black Racers in my area, and have also seen them climbing through, and cruising the top rail of MANY chain-link fences on their own totally undisturbed. They were ALL no doubt looking for Brown Anoles which are VERY abundant on just about every single fence, or bush, or tree for that matter throughout the centralFlorida/south Florida area. I've also witness them crawling in low-lying branches of trees too. Not long ago, I saw one cruising along the flower bed along side my house, so I slowly crouched down so it wouldn't get spooked, and just sat there to see what it was doing. The racer slowly ascended up into a bush still totally unaware of my presence, not even knowing I was there as I stood motionless. A few seconds later I heard a big crashing comotion coming from inside the bush he just crawled up into, and down he came crashing to the ground with a big Brown Anole in it's mouth which he quickly consumed. I was in awe at what I just witnessed, and walked away with a big smile, and thought, wow, I just saw a rare glimpse of nature at it's very best!

Anyway, oh yeah!,.....they do climb from time to time..LOL!
